The nail contains a small RFID chip and an antenna, and is passively powered by the reader/writer when placed a couple inches away. These can be read by almost any 13.56MHz RFID/NFC reader but make sure it can handle ISO/IEC 14443 Type A cards as there are a few other encoding standards (like FeLica) They are tested and work great with both our PN532 NFC/RFID breakout board and Adafruit NFC/RFID Shield for Arduino! These chips can be written to & store up to 1 KB of data in writable EEPROM divided into banks, and can handle over 100,000 re-writes. You can use our PN532 NFC/RFID breakout board or Adafruit NFC/RFID Shield for Arduino to read and write data to the EEPROM inside the tag. There is also a permanent 4-byte ID burned into the chip that you can use to identify one tag from another - the ID number cannot be changed. These use a ISO/IEC 14443 Type A chipset, which used to be the 'classic' NFC chipset. In ~2014, the NFC forum decided not to support this chipset anymore, so newer phones do not support it. This only matters if you're trying to use this tag with a phone/tablet. 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Plastic Nail (7:43) TECHNICAL DETAILS RFID chip specification: 1 KiloByte (8 KiloBit) non-volatile EEPROM storage Built in encryption engine with 48-bit key 4 Byte unique identifier burned into the chip 13.56 MHz frequency Tag specification: Max Dimensions: 22.11mm / 0.87" round x 41.37" / 1.62" long Head Dimensions: 22.11mm / 0.87" round x 4.06mm / 0.16" thick Shaft Dimensions: 6mm / 0.23" round x 38.23mm / 1.5" long 2.32g Works about 2" away from reader MAY WE ALSO SUGGEST... 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Bracelet PN532 NFC/RFID controller breakout board 13.56MHz RFID/NFC tag assortment 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Clear Tag 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Card RFID RFID/NFC S50 Card Reader - PS/2 Interface 13.56MHz RFID/NFC White Tag 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Leather Keychain Fob 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Charm Adafruit PN532 NFC/RFID Controller Shield for 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Sticker 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Clear Keychain Fob DISTRIBUTORS CONTACT SUPPORT DISTRIBUTORS EXPAND TO SEE DISTRIBUTORS "Premature optimization is the root of all evil" - Donald Knuth EDUCATORS JOBS FAQ SHIPPING & RETURNS TERMS OF SERVICE PRIVACY & LEGAL ABOUT US ENGINEERED IN NYC Adafruit (R) 4.9
